Stressed-out high school student leaps to his death from building

A 17 year old high school student in west Daegu leapt to his death from his 20-story apartment building, last week. His mother told police that he was under a lot of stress with studying in advance of the dreaded Suneung test, later this year. It’s not uncommon to hear occasional stories of student suicide before and after Korea’s daunting equivalent of the SAT.
